[Intro 1]
[A][Am][A][Am]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]See the bright
new moon is rising,
[F]Above the land [C]of black [G]and green
[C]Hear the rebels voices calling,
I [F]will not [C]die 'till you [G]bury [C]me

[Verse 2]
The aunt upstairs in the [F]bed she is [C]calling,
[F]Why has [C]he forsaken [G]me
[C]Faded pictures [F]in the hall[C]way,
[F]Which [C]one of them brown ghosts is he

[Verse 3]
[F]Bless the wind [C]that shakes the barley,
[F]Curse the spade [C]and curse [G]the plough
I've [C]counted [F]years and [C]weeks and days,
[F]And I wis[C]h to God I was with you now

[Verse 4]
Fare thee well [F]me black
-haired diamond,
diamond,
[C]Fare thee well me [G]own Aisling
At night [C]fond [F]dreams of you [C]still [Dm]haunt me,
[C]Far across the grey [G]north [F]sea
[G][F]

[Verse 5]
[G]
And the [F]wind it blows from
[G]the North and South,
[F]To the East And to [G]the West
[F]I will be like the[G] wind my love,
[F]For I will know no res[G]t 'till I r[F]e
[G]turn to thee
[C]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
1, 2, 3 telegraph poles,
Standing on [G]the cold black [Am]road
The night is fading into morning,
Give us a drop of [G]your sweet
[Am]poitín

[Verse 7]
The rain was lashing - the [Am]sun was rising,
The wind was howling [G]through [Am]the trees
The madness from the mountains crawling,
When I saw you first my [G]own [Am]Aisl[G]ing

[Verse 8]
[C]Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
Curse [F]the spade and curse [G]the plough
I've [C]counted years and [F]weeks and days,
[C]And I wish to God I was with you now

[Verse 9]
[C]Fare thee well [F]my black haired diamond,
[C]Fare thee well my [G]own[C][F][C]
[Dm][C][G][F][G][C][F]
[C]Ais[G]ling
At [C]night fond [F]dreams of you [C]still [Dm]haunt me,
[C]Far across the grey [G]north [C]sea
